The hits just keep on coming for USC football recruiting, all while Oregon and Dan Lanning continue to collect more high-end players.
Ducks Wire has more on the latest Oregon recruiting win over USC:
The Oregon Ducks are staying hot on the recruiting trail, landing a commitment now from 4-star interior offensive lineman Alai Kalaniuvalu.
Just earlier on Wednesday morning, we wrote about the Ducks being projected to land Kalaniuvalu, and a few hours later he announced his commitment. Kalaniuvalu is rated by 247Sports as the No. 172 overall player in the 2025 class, and the No. 7 OT in the nation.
Kalaniuvalu is the second offensive tackle to now join the Ducks’ 2025 class, joining 3-star OT Demetri Manning.
With the addition of Kalaniuvalu, the Ducks now move up into the No. 4 spot in terms of the 2025 recruiting class rankings, sitting only behind Ohio State, Alabama, and Georgia.
USC isn’t going to change recruiting realities this summer. The Trojans need a big 2024 season. Then they might be able to flip some recruits and change some minds in December and on into the winter.
